SILENT HORIZON - [Part 2: Facing the Faceless/Escape] [modplot]
Who| Everyone in Silent Horizon plot
What| Fighting the Faceless, a perilous escape, and a chance to have a breather
Where| In the In-Between, the Silent Horizon, and then the Legion Cruiser
When| Chronologically, only hours have passed in the outside world from when the team disappeared, but it's up to players whether their characters perceived it as being hours or days
Warnings/Notes| Gore, blood, body horror, all the usual
They hear the voice again, calling out to them. Not the Faceless, not the dark whispers of this world. It's the same tinny voice that warned them, that told them not to give into the Faceless' offer. It's the voice that told them their Phalanxed teammates can still be saved if the Faceless is killed in time before they die.
It calls out again. Wherever they are, whatever the landscape is doing, they can hear it.
"I know you have no reason to trust me. I know you've been probably hearing lots of voices in this place, telling you all kinds of things. But I'm trying to help you. There's a way to end this, to stop the Faceless. Just follow my voice. My language synthesizer is broadcasting in the telepathic range like telepathic earplugs and I've managed to reconfigure it to broadcast through the entire In-Between. You should be hearing it wherever you are and you should be able to use its broadcast strength to navigate. I think I've managed to secure it from the Faceless and his Phalanx but there's no way to be sure."
How loud the voice is changes as they get closer or farther away. They can use it to navigate, albeit very crudely. And now that it's clearer, it's far more recognizable: it's the voice of the Robotican in the horrible footage that played before they were taken -- the one that had his head knocked off.
"My name is N-45LEN/Keth Series. My organic crewmates call --" He pauses, and sounds distraught. "--called me Lenny. I was a crew member of the Silent Horizon. This entire dimension is called the In-Between. It's made up of the body of the Faceless and I'm currently trapped at its core. I can see you Legionnaires from here through...what appears to be some kind structure for processing what equates to ocular stimuli for the Faceless. If any of you get lost, I can see enough to guide you here."
If they need it, they'll find that he can give them individualized directions, no matter what the landscape does, and he can give them to multiple people simultaneously. Having a complex processor for a brain has its perks.
"My organic teammate and I managed to discover the core of the Faceless and its nature, but I'm currently incapacitated and Bob...he just lost it. He nearly destroyed what was left of me and ran off before we could stop the Faceless. I saw him eventually accept the Faceless' offer and turn. If you make it here where I am, you may be able to destroy the Faceless' body enough to kill him, save your teammates, and destroy this dimension once and for all."
A pause.
"And if you could maybe take me with you when you leave, uh, I would appreciate that. Like, a lot."

"I'm sorry I don't know you better, I'd be happy to lend an ear."
no subject
"I'm Pidge. Paladin while I'm a super hero."
It seems like as good a time as any to start practicing compartmentalization.

no subject
She pulls her hand away and puts it behind her head. This is awkward and she doesn't know what to do yet.
no subject
"What was it you did before..." she motioned around the area, "All this happpened?"
no subject
"Um...before Legion? I was piloting one fifth of a giant robot." Yeah, that doesn't sound crazy. "It's a long story."
no subject
no subject
"It's called Voltron. Five robot lions that connect to form a giant man. I'm the left arm."
no subject
She laughed, a little softly. It sounded a little rougher since she'd been doing quite a bit of screaming with Victor. "Where... when I'm from, it's all... science fiction, not science fact." She looked down, "Honestly, I'm still a little overwhelmed by everything."
no subject
Talking quietly is OK with Pidge right now, especially now that she's about to admit: "I...kind of wish I had my lion right now."
She does manage a chuckle. If she knows about Gundam than she probably means she's at least from an Earth, right? "That may depend on what year you're from. In my time humanities wee making expeditions to Pluto even before I even heard of Voltron."
no subject
"What is your lion like?" she asked. One didn't speak to someone who rode around in a giant robot every day! It would be important to know.
no subject
"Oh. Oh, yeah I can see where you might be feeling a little primitive." If Pidge was the type to register how insensitive the things she said were before she said them, well, she wouldn't.
"Well, she's a giant and green. And flies. I modified her with invisibility too." She's not sure how she'll explain having a psychic bond with a robot lion, so she won't. "She's got her own personality, really inquisitive. Sometimes she points out things to me while I'm piloting her."
no subject
Or out of the dark room, or figure out how she got into a closed closet, or...
Miku smiled. "It must be nice to have a bond strong enough for her to point things out like that."
no subject
She guesses that, yeah, that is part of their bond, isn't it? "Well, the Lions know all their own functions, they keep revealing them to us as we prove ourselves worthy?"
no subject
"Dogs aren't very common where I lived, but I think they're cute, too. There's a lot of folklore for them, surprisingly."
